i would go the constitutional option like bill clinton suggest and say this thing is unconstitutional. ork bama seems to have ruled that out. if he's not going to, he has to reframe the debate. i think the most powerful way to do that is to expose the hoax at the heart of what the republican debt limit argument is. they make it sound like the debt limits, the only way to stop socialist obama from drowning us in debt when obama should say what we should do is raise the debt limit by the amount needed to accommodate the debt that every republican voted for in paul ryan's budget plan last year. this is something people don't understand. the press doesn't widely appreciate this. the ryan budget that all the republicans voted for adds about $6 trillion in debt. ryan may say that's better than the 7 or $8 trillion in obama's budget, but lifting the debt ceiling is not about shrink the debt in a rapid way and exposing that hypocrisy. that's the only way that obama can turn public opinion. we come talk about it and if obama made it a staple in the next few dis, it would be the center of media
